Odo insists that Quark leave him behind and continue alone to the top, but Quark, exhausted and hungry, is ready to give up.
Quark tries to drag Odo up the mountain, but it soon proves to be too much work for him. Words soon escalate into a shoving match, and they wind up sliding down the mountainside. They argue throughout the journey, even as they finally begin to climb the mountain. They are dismayed to realize that what looked like a hike of a few hours will actually take several days. Sharing one set of cold-weather gear between them, they make their way toward the mountain, bickering all the way. He proposes that they haul their subspace transmitter, a heavy piece of equipment, up a nearby mountain, where the atmosphere may be thin enough to send a signal for help. They are left facing a horrifying choice - starve to death or freeze to death - when Quark has an idea.
Their communication system is damaged and they have very little food. Halfway to their destination, a bomb planted on their ship by the Syndicate explodes, and they are forced to crash-land on a frozen, barely habitable planet. Sisko must pair up with his former enemy to stop the missiles before the Jem'Hadar go on the rampage in response - but as always, Eddington has his own agenda.Odo is escorting Quark to a grand jury hearing where Quark is to testify against the criminal Orion Syndicate. PlotlineA message to Maquis leader Eddington indicates that a flotilla of cloaked missiles are on their way to wipe out Cardassia in reprisal for the Jem'Hadars virtual annhilation of the terrorist group. Deep Space Nine would never mention the Maquis again, however, and ironically when Voyager did reference the Maquis back home, it would be B'Elanna telling Chakotay that the organisation had been all but destroyed by the Dominion.Ī mention by Sisko of a recent Borg attack places Star Trek : First Contact as happening shortly before this episode. Rick Berman wouldn't allow this, as he felt that Voyager might want to use the Maquis at some point. In fact his preference was to obliterate the entire Maquis in this episode, ending that entire story once and for all. Ira Steven Behr ordered this episode because he felt that they needed to close off some of the dangling story threads before moving into the Dominion war story.
